Question
3 years ago I had half of my stomach removed because I had early stage stomach cancer. I don't have chemotherapy. Since then, my stomach has been unstable sometimes, defecation at times, sometimes involuntary. There were times when my stomach was lumpy and spasming. I took many drugs. At least 4 times a year I have a follow-up examination, but each time the results are ulcers of the mouth and the rest of the stomach. I would like to ask if constipation, bowel incontinence, abdominal lumps, cramps after gastric cancer surgery need treatment? What should I do?

Hi,
Stomach cancer in the early stage after surgery will not need adjuvant treatment after surgery, but patients need to be monitored after surgery to detect recurrence or metastasis. apartment. Specifically, the patient re-examined 4 times in 1 year in the first 2 years and every 6 months in the next 3 years.
